University students help Conductive Education service with raising awareness

A brief report of a project by students looking into Conductive Education for adults at the Percy Hedley Foundation, Newcastle, UK has been published on Northumbria University website.

The sudents of design, business and communication technology decided -
From three potential areas for exploration presented by the Foundation, the team chose to look into a therapy called Conductive Education for Adults. This opportunity involved improving the awareness of the therapy and providing possible design improvements to the equipment and environment used to deliver it.


What they did and the outcomes are included in this report with comments by the CEO of the Foundation.

Its a shame that the name of the Foundation was not correctly spelt on the university website, but I assume it would have been on any literature designed for the organisation!

Don't blame the students involved.

The institution involved and the university both have responsibilities for 'getting things right', that appear not to have been fulfilled.

That would have been the proper point at which to correct the 'awareness'...

Must try harder next year!
